Chris, your picture of the ladle-brazing of frames is amazing and says a lot about how they did those frames.

There were some really amazing techniques back then that are largely lost to time...

Cheers and thanks for posting.

i would think that not to many companies would let these kind of photos be taken today.

Most of the pics that show the end of the assembly line show what looks to be the same gentleman at the same station over the years.
I wonder the total number of bikes he touched in his career.
I wonder if he worked on mine.
I wonder what his name was.
I have got to get back to building that time machine......
Thanks for the pics Chris

Bob... it sounds like we wonder about similar things. Let me know when you get your time machine done and I'll abandon mine...

Thanks for those factory shots Chris!

I don't know how to take one of these pictures and take it over to the knucklehead thread so I will float this thread back to the top. The picture of the fenders is relevant to a question.
